Here are two options to be considered, both relying entirely on CSS (No
Javascript).
OPTION 1
Option 1 left-aligns the entire paragraph as soon as your mouse enters
that paragraph. That way the foot marker stays put when you mouse over
the foot marker. Just add these lines to the usual LyXHTML output:
.standard
{
text-align:justify;
}
.standard:hover
{
text-align: left;
}
OPTION 2
Option 2 unveils all footnotes in a paragraph or list item as soon as
your mouse enters any part of that paragraph or list item. Just add the
the following to the usual LyXHTML styling:
.standard
{
text-align:justify;
}
li:hover div.foot_inner, .standard:hover div.foot_inner {
display: block;
border: 1px double black;
margin: 0em 1em;
padding: 1em;
}
I like that Option 2 has such a big target that it's easy to hit it
with your mouse. I also like that Option 2 leaves any paragraph without
footnotes completely unchanged.
That said, Option 1 gives the precision of only viewing the footnote if
you absolutely mean to.
